i read an entry from cpt. caveman and it made me think: nice concise answer ("bomb the place below sea-level") however, there are many who believe that what is below the surface of afghanistan is the reason for ALL of this chaos. did you know that beneath afghanistan is the largest untapped oil reserve on the planet? it is also almost twice the size of that of saudi arabia. we have been interested in it well before the attacks, with explicit interests beginning in 1994, in setting up a stable government in afghanistan so that we can get our hands on this oil. why do you think we put up with all of the israeli's bullshit? they arent our buddies, you know (if anyone doubts this, read about the MOSSAD). our relationship with israel exists because of our oil interests. that doesnt mean that terrorists have a reason to do what they do, and i agree that bin laden is an asshole, regardless of whether or not he is involved in all of the incidents he is accused of masterminding, because of his blatant misrepresentation of islam. in conclusion, do i think we should fight a war for oil? no. however, do i drive my truck several hours a week simply to pursue my silly habit of climbing? yes. do i have any suggestions to add to this rhetoric? perhaps we should spend more time and resources researching alternative energy sources, instead of creating chaos in the world in our quest for "black gold".
